Clothes we lub to hate
Clothes can be an integral part of macking. However, there has been an overload of trendy fashions on the market that need to die. All of a sudden, one item that looked unique on one person is worn by all...and shouldn't.
Brian and I have comprised the following list of clothing that is NEVER acceptable to wear.
Ponchos
Clip on flowers
Animal prints
Sweats with words on the butt
Oversized skater shoes
Bras with clear plastic straps
Fishnets with big hole openings
Fake vintage logo tees (compliments of Old Navy, Hot Topic)
Steve Madden knock-off shoes
Cherries, Butterflies, Dolphins on clothing or accessories
Air-brushed Looney Toon t-shirts
Winnie the Pooh shirts and watches
tube tops with bulge
blouses with bell sleeves
ANYTHING with Japanese letters on them
sparkles, glitter technology, rhinestones
the veneration of old school cartoon charachters on shirts
a wrist decorated with more than 2 colors of jelly bracelet
toe rings
bows and frilly poof
fake designer purses, cell phone holders, scarves
Alright. Discuss amongst yourselves.
PS. I'd appreciate it if the list is added to (juicymango, we would especially welcome your comments)

recently, those tube dresses with the scruncheee ness around the chest area. horrible!!! and they were the biggest rave last year and they are selling like mad again this year. why? they aren't cool. stop wearing them. you just look pregnant.
Hahaha this sound exactly like something I would say!
Speaking of these maternity worthy frocks, last sumer this sister that just thinks she's breezy wore one + a flower in her hair grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i think they're hot
i think they're cute.....look how hot jessica simpson wears them. you def cant be fat when wearing one BUT even though i opt for boardshorts and bathing suit top (tank) they are cute beach coverups.....or for lounging by the pool.
ok you have to stop talking about warm weather things. It's killing me.
heeheehee....sorry.....but we're having 80 degree weather here....but i know you'll be stoked to hear its gonna rain this weekend =)
lol it's not that i want YOU to have bad weather, i just want nice weather HEREEE hehe
come on guys i agree with you for most of the stuff but im sorry - you have to scratch off the "Sweat pants with words on the butt" because there are these adorable sweats from victorias secret with the word "pink" on the butt. they're hot!
im asuming you have more than a few pairs of these then? lol
do all the colors have the word pink or .. do they.. each have the right color.. because that would be confusing for some blondes
noooo its just a label- im sorry is that confusing??? hahahaha
hmmm could be... i know it confuses ME and im not even blonde....
yeah but you're just dumb.
wait... have you forgotten who you are? you make more dumb statements any 3 blondes combined! lol oh low blow.
hahah. all right i give it to you. sometimes i can make really dumb statements but at least my other thoughts are strunge together by intelligence thoughts that benefit everyone else. you just run around, "yo let's play manhunt!! lets trumple down the stairs even though its 11:30pm good job buddy!!
hahahahhhahahaha.... lol aww man that WAS funny tho.
watching Newlieweds, eh?
ehh only acceptable if the words are
" BITE THIS "
or
" I POOP FROM HERE"
otherwise it's bleh
i saw one that said "slut" totally caught me off gaurd. i laughed and laughed. then i was on gaurd.
hahaha this comment made me laugh through my nose kinda thing and boogies almost came out
lol, and this comment made me laugh
no lol, this comment however did not make me laugh
Ha! You totally blew farts on the parade!!! I can't believe you said NO lol, what a party pooper...That made ME laugh :P
Actually, I was feeling corny and I channeled Thai when I wrote my post.The last four exchanges all made me laugh though. Fairly hard.
Who laughs and almost has their boogies fall out? Seriously!
Still more importantly: Who farts on parades? SERIOUSLY!
come over and touch my babies
i don't like live strong armbands
I just saw my 4 year old cousin Erica's crack...
That's it! I'm boycotting LOW-RISE JEANS!
MAN if you had left out the LOWRISE JEANS rant I coulda pipped in with ...Maybe it's for medicinal purposes :-P
Can i add something to this list like hmm big band logos on your rear window, Like a big weezer W for example lol.
shut up. you thought it was cool.
AND it's not clothes. you're really wringing that one dry.
...I love that big =W= on the back of cars. I can't put one on my current car, but the next car I get the big W is in!!! My last car I just had a little weezer chinese food box? saying "Thank You" sticker. That was awesome. I miss my car :(
Yeah, I had a big white =w= sticker in the center of my back windshield. It was classic and it helped me find my car! Then I gave the car to Bri and he scraped it off! L0ser.
Next car I get I'm slapping one on the back of it..I'll buy you one too!!
Good lookin out! ;)
Gab everytime your at brians house i see you sporting a tasmania devil shirt with him swinging a bat with your favorite teams sport logo on his chest. And its airbrushed.
well that's a vision you will never behold.
If the weather permitts scarves are cool.
I actually wore one for the first time on monday, it was actually kind of forced on me, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I may actually get one for myself, though I don't know how often I would really wear it since I rarely get cold but who knows.
Cell phone clips are acceptable if you work in the celluar industry
Or are something like a contractor or builder or something.....but yeah, I agree.
Yeah i have two cell phones for work and i go crazy if i lose them i feel like a wearing utility belt like batman sometimes that sucks
Hahaha....like one of your phones is really a retractable cord that you can use to swing from building to building? hehehehe.....that would be cool.
Sweats with words on the butt, I have AEROPASTALE right on my pettite behind LOL! And by the way they are sooooo comfortable it's like you're sitting while you're actually standing. Alyssa also hates these, I call them my FANNY PANTS ha! Also some people can afford the real designer bags, and own actual vintage shirts...how would one ascertain the difference?
My sister has some pairs of those, drives my dad crazy. lol
Next time i see you i will be wearing all of the above
you liar
I know....................
nope, just a cute red Gap hoodie!
haha and i was thinkin of wearin my poncho. And acquiring some of the other stuff on this list, ESPECIALLY sweats that say "CHEER" on the butt
the spanish exchange studetns love labels. they want people to know where they got it. so they all bought matching red gap sweatshirts. i don't understand but hey it was funny to see them all match.
If you are over 40.. there is no shame in it... you really REALLY shouldn't dress like your age is still in the single digits OR like the first number of your age is a 1 or a 2. Seriously. Cover up.
about the clip-on flowers. now i don 't wear them on clothing but i tend to wear flowers in my hair. not all the time but i have a large red flower that looks really nice sometimes. so splaaa-doh
oh and scarves. i love how this is in style now. i have a lot of them and i love wearing en. they make me warm and snuggly. they accentuate an outfit by bringing out colors. plus when your bad hair day is around, you put it up and wrap a scarf around and it looks chic.
i LUV wearing flowers in my hair! it's just so tropical and i think it makes any girl look gorgeous!
Flower in hair=mineeee!!!! I broke one of my black ones :( so now I must go to windsor and get really pretty ones that they have.
I hate expensive clothes cuz its expensive.
I like to have fun with fashion so sometimes that means wearing something way out there or trendy. So maybe I regret it later but like I said..it's fun. If I like it and think I can pull it off, I wear it. period. case in point: gwen stefani. sometimes she's way out there and unique, other times she's MAD trendy. I think that's awesome.
when skinny guys walk around in WBs
and so what if maybe i used to be a victim of this fashion fopah
faux pas
lol thank you!
stinkin french
It's a really hard and retarded language. I am learning it for no good reason.
je mien fiche
and now youve given up undershirts? or: and now you are no longer a "skinny" guy? hmmm????
let's just say my self image (as in the way i see myself) has changed over the years
are WB's wifebaters?
wifebeaters actually (some find the term offensive but i think "guinee tee" might be too)
How about white form fitting tank top. WFFTT
lol... and add "slash undershirt" to the end of that
LOL have you seen the girl tanks that say "boybeaters" on them?? hilarious.
I saw that last week at the mall and fell out. I'd love to see a girl whippin' on a boy.
you mean, guinea tee?
The use of guinea as an extremely offensive ethnic slur directed against Italians or those of Italian descent is only one of several uses of this word.
The earliest related form to note is Guinea negro, first recorded in the mid-eighteenth century. This referred literally to a black person from Guinea, a region on the coast of West Africa. Common in the eighteenth century in this form, by the early nineteenth century we began to see guinea used on its own (without negro) to refer to a black person. This sense is now rare or obsolete.
The usual sense 'an Italian person or person of Italian descent' is first recorded in 1890 and appears to have been reasonably common thereafter. (It even appears in the well-known 1894 song "Sidewalks of New York," the one with the chorus "East side, West side, all around the town": "Boys and girls together, we would sing and waltz/While the Ginnie played the organ on the sidewalks of New York." This verse is often euphemized to "While Tony played the organ....")
This sense was probably inspired by guinea in the sense 'a black person' with reference to the relatively dark skin of southern Italians, who made up the majority of Italian immigrants at that time. Other racial slurs that normally refer to black people are also often applied to members of other dark-skinned groups.
Guinea is found reasonably often in two other senses in the early twentieth century: 'a Hispanic person' and 'a guy; fellow; person'. It is found less frequently in the senses 'a Southern European [not from Italy]' and 'the Italian language', and from World War II 'an Asian'.
i however am not offended.
Oh yeah the receptionist reminded me of what clothes I lub to hate.
- if you have huge boobs don't wear tight clothes. Making it look like you have two pairs of boobs isn't exactly flattering
- if you are wearing an extremely short skirt and need to bend over and pick something up, bend your knees and act like a lady!! hahaha please i do not need to see your .. europe and france
- not everyone is skinny and that is fine. However, if you have giant belly rolls why do you wear low-rider pants and short tight shirts and sweaters??? I mean really it's not flattering at all. Not to say that you should HIDE what you are, but um,... there is a way to accent every body type without making everyone around you see the donut you ate last week. I mean seriously.
HAHA this is SO true! you do not know how many girls i see that wear their clothes 2 sizes to small and they're 4 sizes bigger....UGH, it's NOT pretty. It's like "do you NOT have any mirrors or friends to let you know how you look"
yeah and i just dont' want anyone to think that i'm against overweight people ... I'm not the skinniest person in the world or anything and i hope I don't offend anyone. I mean the receptionist, she's not even "overweight" she just is like a size 10 and wears size 4 clothes. GEEZ. If she just wore her size she would look nice. She just.. doesn't.
oh now not at all. I didn't get that you're against overweight people....it means EVERYONE should wear clothes that fittheir body...no matter what size they are
i hate that scarf you gave me you stupid ugly gerbil
saddle shoes. these look ridiculous. on anyone. stop wearing them. and go be happy.
I second this. Gab likes saddle shoes though. So, shhhh.
the proverbial spot is *blown*
i want some saddle shoes. i wear skirts with sneakers sometimes cuz in my mind the look appears to be 50ish but i really need saddle shoes to pull of the look, so lemme know if you see em.
Extremely pointy-toed stilleto-heel boots... have got to go
down with pizza toe!!
We almost added this, but we think these boots have their place. Some people, depending on the outfit they're wearing, can pull these off.
The only thing on this list I'm guilty of is the poncho. I own two. One of them is more elegant, to wear over a dressy shirt at dinner when it's a little chilly in the restaurant. The other is more casual. But they're cute and tasteful. I've seen some I absolutely HATE, though. And not everyone can pull them off.
I think toe rings are pretty cute, as long as EVERY one of your toes is not decorated with them. :)
yeah i have one toe ring on each foot. but we're mostly in flip flops or sandals here and it looks so cute! plain toes jsut look like guy toes.
Exactly. I've seen some girls that have, like 3 or 4 rings on each foot!!!! Not cute at all. But if you have ones that match your nailpolish, now THAT is adorable. I stick to the plain silver ones with minimal decoration, but I think a lot of the ones I see lately are cute. If I could wear flip flops year-round, I'd SO have a toe ring on all the time.
yeah mine are plain silver....got one in hawaii (present) then another in santa barbara (another present)
they look so cute with a perfect manicure.
pedicure.
and yea i have like 23 toe rings. makes me feel pretty inside.
i only wear my toe rings when i wear socks while i'm swimming.
there are some of these that do look good on some. it just depends on the person and where you live. i luv ponchos, the look is fab. wore em when i was young and i'll still wear em, whether they're in style or not.
I hate the tie on bracelets, jelly braclets, but thats for myself. i've seen some that can wear them to a cocktail party and make it look fab. like i said its all about who can carry it off or not.
animal prints can make you look and feel sexy, IF, it's done tastefully!
i agree with the wording on the booty....great way to draw attention.
But what IS acceptable to wear is...
Boyshort chanties
wings
lace lingerie
and
me
haha sorry but i pictured a little Thai brooch or something just hanging on to a chick's blazer. or something. hahaha...
hahaha why me i really know nothing about fashion lol .. and.. i own a poncho.
hmm if i think you've pretty much covered everything though.. haha if i think of something i'll add it lol
if more than one person can fit in your jean pantleg... the jeans are too baggy. Stop it.
mary janes for adults that look like mary janes for children. if you wear an ankle strap shoe, make it a delicate one, please.
wearing all black all the time. we get it. you are angst ridden. move on.
i so do this and i know it isnt fashionable: head to toe one color (example: at island beach state park i changed my wrap and flip flops when i changed into my dry bathing suit.) totally unnecessary but so hard to resist.
-Jeans that are so low that you can tell what natural hair color someone is.
-Jeans that are so tight that you don't have to imagine what would happen if someone's huuuuge butt was squeezed into a space 10x too small for it.
-Stupid Sad Bunny from Hot Topic that says stuff like "Smell My Poop"
-Micro mini skirts made in plus sizes.
HHahaha.....that bunny is so hilarious though. I saw a sweatshirt with it on it the other day that said "It's funny how stupid you are." Made me smile.
I hope ponchos go out of fashion so I can finally get one in a few years. I've wanted one forever but now that everyone has one it just ruins it for me.
Are you guys trying to tell me something? cuz I wear all of that. at once.
